wheel assistance

Hey everyone,

just purchased an 05 honda s2000 and ready to change my rims. I got a set of mugen mf-10 rims, 17" x 8" offset +55, can they fit on the S?

Desperately awaiting a reply

The common wheel size chart:

As written by spa-zz:
These are minimum recommended offsets. You can use a higher offset if you want, and you will get additional fender clearance.

For the front:
6.5” to 7.5” wide wheel: 205 tires: +43 offset minimum
7.0” to 8.0” wide wheel: 215 tires: +48 offset minimum
7.0” to 8.0” wide wheel: 225 tires: +53 offset minimum
7.5” to 8.5” wide wheel: 235 tires: +58 offset minimum
7.5” to 8.5” wide wheel: 245 tires: +63 offset minimum

For the rear:
7.5” to 8.5” wide wheel: 235 tires: +40 offset minimum
7.5” to 9.0” wide wheel: 245 tires: +45 offset minimum
8.0” to 9.5” wide wheel: 255 tires: +50 offset minimum
8.5” to 9.5” wide wheel: 265 tires: +55 offset minimum
9.0” to 10.0” wide wheel: 275 tires: +60 offset minimum
9.0” to 10.0” wide wheel: 285 tires: +65 offset minimum

Congrats on the purchase and welcome!

according to the chart, it will work. but i would run wider tires in the back for sure. the S is really set up to have wider tires in the back.

congrats and welcome!

There you go.

rfanatic · 07-11-2008, 04:25 AM

thanks guys,

do you suggest 215/45/17 in the front and 225/40/17 in the back. Also, i want to get some lowering springs; 1 1/2 drop max, any suggestions?

The newer cars come with 215/45x17 up front and 245/40x17 on the rear.

Go with 215 Front, 245 Rear, you'll be good to go

rfanatic · 07-11-2008, 07:45 AM

yea, but if I'm going to lower the car 245 won't be too big. Also, considering the rim is 8" in width will 245's fit?

rfanatic · 07-11-2008, 07:52 AM

One other thing; the rims that I have are 8" in width and +55 offset all around but the oem rims are 7.5 in the front, +55 offset and 8.5, offset +68 in the rear.

If they are truely Mugen MF-10 then the sizes should be 17x7.5 +52 and 17x8.5 +59 and the correct size tires 225 front and 255 rear.

Hey Guys,

it's me again; so I got my new shoes on, see attached pic. Wearing the mugen mf-10 and lowered the car with 1 inch eibach springs. The car looks ok but I find the back in much lower than the front, is there anyway I can adjust this?s2k small.jpg
